[Blue Dragon – FRIEND]
[Episode Title: Timebreaker]
It was another peaceful morning in the city of love, Paris. Within a certain bakery, Marinette was walking down the stairs to see her mother applying a flower to her hair.
"Well? With or without?" Sabine asked.
"Uh, with?" Marinette replied.
"You're sure it's not better without?"
"Either way, you look perfect mom."
Sabine then held Marinette's hands.
"You know? It's not everyday you celebrate your twentieth wedding anniversary." Sabine said. Meanwhile, Shala was assisting Marinette's dad. He is a tall man with a large build. He has green eyes, brown hair, sideburns and a mustache. He wears a light blue shirt with two buttons at the front of the neckline, light brown pants, and dark brown dress shoes. He wears a silver band on his ring finger. He also had a dirty apron on.
"What do you think, Shala? I groomed my moustache. Is it too short? Should I shave the whole thing off? Maybe it's a little crooked on one-"
"Relax, Mr. Dupain."
"Please, you can call me Tom."
"Alright, Tom, you look just fine...except for that dirty apron you're still wearing."
Tom took notice of the dirty apron.
"Thanks, sweetie!"
Tom then ran off to change.
[Later…]
After the two parents finished getting ready, Marinette hastily pushed the two out the door.
"You're going to be late!" she said.
"Now don't forget Mrs. Chamack will be coming by to pick up the Eiffel Tower cake in 30 minutes. I'm depending on you." Tom said to his daughter.
"Yeah, yeah. No sweat, piece of cake." Marinette said. Her parents then leave for their anniversary.
"Welp, I'mma go and explore a bit. See ya later, girl!" Shala said. She ran off to find something interesting.
"Alright, now that we have that out of the way, I have some homework to get done..." Marinette groaned.
[At Le Grand Paris]
The two lovebirds took their seats at the restaurant in the Grand Paris hotel. Across from them, the Dupain-Chengs could eye Alix and her father. He is at a medium height with pale blue eyes and orange-brown hair. He also has a moustache. He wears thin-rimmed glasses, a lavender scarf, a purple undershirt, and a dark gray vest with a gold Egyptian hieroglyph pattern. He also wears a gray jacket, gray slacks, and black shoes. Tom then waved at Alix's father.
"They're Marinette's parents." Alix explained to her father. "You kow, one of the chicks I hang out with?"
"Ah, yes, I remember. They make the best bread in the whole of Paris."
Mr. Kubdel then eyed Alix's sneakers.
"Couldn't you have made more of an effort to dress nicely?"
"What are you talking about? I took off my cap."
"But this is a special day." Mr. Kubdel insisted.
"Well, it's only a birthday."
"No, this is a special birthday."
Mr. Kubdel then takes a watch out of his pocket.
"This family heirloom was made by one of our ancestors many, many years ago. It's been passed down from one generation to the next, on their 15th birthday. And today, it's your turn to inherit it."
"It's pretty sweet. But I've already got a watch, synced up to my smartphone." Alix explained, revealing the watch on her wrist.
"But sometimes there's more to things that meets the eye. Let's just say that our ancestor was..."
When Mr. Kubdel opened the watch, a bright flash occurred, revealing a hologram.
"...Ahead of his time."
"Wow..." Alix was just awestruck at what she witnessed.
"Of course, I'd understand if you'd rather me buy you a new pair of rollerblades."
"No, Dad! I'm stoked to have it. Thank you!" Alix said, accepting the watch. Suddenly, her phone began to ring.
"Are your friends waiting?" Mr. Kubdel asked.
"Yeah, but I don't wanna bail on you. It's cool." Alix insisted.
"No, no, go ahead."
Alix then stood up, grabbed her cap, and raced out of the restaurant.
"Now, take good care of it."
[With Marinette]
Marinette tried to think of a solution to the problem on her homework.
"Come on Marinette! You can do it! Just remember the formula. Think, Marinette, think!" Tikki said in encouragement.
"I might be able to do it if you weren't distracting me so much with your encouraging words!" Marinette said, causing Tikki to giggle. Suddenly, Marinette's phone rang. When she picked it up, Alya was on the line.
"Hey Alya. What's up? The what? The bet between Alix, Hiro, and Kim? No, of course I didn't forget! I already made the banner for it! I know everyone's counting on me. In 5 minutes? No sweat. I'm on my way already. Be right there!"
The moment she hung up, Marinette screeched a bit.
"But Marinette, you have to wait for Mrs. Chamack to pick up her cake!" Tikki reminded Marinette.
"Gahhh! I've got 20 minutes before she gets here. I told them I'd take care of the banner and they're all counting on me! Besides, Adrien will be there too!"
"You'll never make it to Trocadero in 5 minutes. It's way too far!"
"Not to far for Ladybug." Marinette said with a wink. "Tikki, spots on!"
In a flash of pink light, she swung her way to Trocadero. She immediately detransformed and ran up to her friends. She then shows off the banner she made, and everyone was impressed.
"Impressive, Marinette!" Adrien said with a wink, causing Marinette to giggle. Marinette turns her attention to Hiro and Kim, with the former warming up.
"Where the hell is Alix? I'm ready to crush both of you!" Kim said with complete confidence. Luckily, Hiro had a perfect retort.
"If by crush us, you mean get rekt by us, then you got the picture." Hiro said, causing his classmates to laugh.
"What?!"
"Please, I don't call myself the fastest guy alive for show." Hiro said while stretching. He then swapped to push-ups. "So, if you want to give up, now would be a good time."
"Whatever! Alix doesn't look like she's gonna show."
"Spoke too soon, Kim!" a voice said. Alix arrived on the scene. Hiro smirked at that.
"Glad you could make it." Hiro said.
"Do you really think I'd miss kicking Kim to the curb and ending his ridiculous dares? As it!" Alix responded.
"It doesn't matter! Neither of you are a match for me! My neck is bigger than either of your thighs!"
"...What?" Hiro asked in a confused tone. "Are you just saying you have a big neck? I mean, what even was that?"
"J-Just shut up and let's race!" Kim said, embarrassed at his choice of words. A student then walked up to the trio. He is short with dark skin, curly brown hair, and brown eyes. He wears black-rimmed glasses, a light green polo shirt, and tan and brown checkered jeans. He also has suspenders with a light tan line between two dark tan lines and silver buckles, along with light grayish blue sneakers and a blue watch on his right wrist.
"Alright, Max. Review the rules so some people don't screw up." Hiro said, referring to Kim.
"Very well. It will be 2 laps around the fountains approximately 500 yards. The first one over the lines is declared the victor! If Kim triumphs, Alix will relinquish her rollerblades to him and Hiro will also forfeit his Miraculous. If Hiro triumphs over Kim, he must purchase ice cream for both him and Alix. And if Alix triumphs over Kim, he will be prohibited to make another dare for the rest of the school year." Max explained.
"We're through with all of those stupid dares!" Juleka shouted out.
"Uh-huh, that's right!" Ivan added.
"No more dares!" another student called out. He is fairly short with turquoise eyes and messy red orange hair. He has long bangs that are brushed to the left side of his face. He wears a red t-shirt with a black design on the front. Over his shirt, he wears a gray dress jacket with a folded collar, folded sleeves, and side pockets. He wears purple jeans that are rolled up at the bottom, and his shoes are gray with white lace and a white section where his toes would be.
"I hope you like dust Kim, 'cause that's what you'll be eating!" Hiro taunted.
"Ha! That's what I should be saying!" Kim countered.
"Enough talk! Let's just go, meathead!" Alix said. All three of them got into starting positions.
"On your marks, get set..."
The three were about to take off, when suddenly…
"Hold up!" Alix called out, causing Kim to fall on his face. Everyone laughed at that.
"Gee, now everyone is gonna think this is a joke." Hiro said.
"What's wrong, Tinkerbell? Forfeiting already?" Kim taunted. Alix just ignored him and skated forward to Alya. She handed her watch over to Alya.
"Hold on to this for me, will you, Alya? I don't wanna drop it during the race." Alix said.
"Hold on girl, I can't! I got a..."
Alix suddenly grasped Alya's hands.
"Guard it with your life. It's a family heirloom!"
With that, Alix went back on the track. Alya then hands the watch over to Marinette.
"Marinette, take this. I gotta record the race for my blog!"
"On your mark..."
The three racers got back into starting positions.
"Get set..."
The three waiting anxiously for the signal to go.
"GO!"
And they were off! The whole class cheered for the racers.
"But…she asked you to hold it." Marinette protested to her best friend. "I gotta hold up the banner!"
All of a sudden, Marinette was pulled forward, causing her to drop the watch. Luckily, Adrien caught it easily.
"Need any help?" he asked.
"Uh...yup! Thanks. Gotta be careful! Even if you are amazing."
"Say what?"
Before Marinette could say anything, Pepper shut her mouth.
"Yep! She said you're amazing!" Pepper said. Adrien laughed at that.
"Thanks, Marinette." Adrien said.
"Last lap!" Max announced. The racers have already ran around once.
"Nice save, Pepper." Alya commented.
"Thanks!" Pepper said. Her actions earned a glare from Marinette.
"Adrikins, whatcha got there? Some super old case or something?" Chloe asked.
"Careful, it's Alix's!" Adrien warned.
"If it's Alix's, it's probably worthless."
"Give it back to Adrien, Chloe." Marinette said. The moment Chloe opened the watch, the hologram popped up, causing her to gasp. As the race went on, Hiro fell face-first on the track. Kim laughed at his misfortune.
"Ha! Looks like I'm gonna beat you and get your Miraculous! I'm gonna be a hero!" Kim shouted. Hiro quickly recovered and ran after Kim, with a faster speed.
"Not a chance!"
The two other racers turned and saw Hiro accelerating towards them. As soon as he passed him, a sonic boom erupted through the area, blowing everyone back and causing Chloe to drop the watch.
"A sonic boom! This is the first one I have ever witnessed!" Max commented.
"Heh, heh! This is my chance!"
Alix took the opportunity to keep going, with Kim following suit. Along the way, Alix bladed over her watch. Alix crossed the finish line second.
"Yes! I beat ya, Kim!" Alix cheered. She and Hiro shared a high-five.
"We did it!"
Suddenly, Hiro looked behind Alix and saw the broken watch.
"Oh, no…"
"What's wrong?" Alix asked. Hiro slowly pointed over to the broken watch. Alix practically screamed at the destroyed watch.
"I demand a rematch! That false start threw me off!"
"Kim! Now is not the time!" Hiro shouted.
"Huh? Why not?" Kim asked. Alix skated over to the watch. She then turned to Alya.
"Did you do this?" she asked.
"I had to videotape the race, so I gave it to Marinette, but then she had to hold the banner, so she gave it to Adrien, then Chloe snatched it from him and dropped it and, uh, then you skated over it."
"My old man gave me this for my birthday! This watch is totally a family heirloom!"
"It was an accident!"
"We didn't mean any harm, Alix!"
"We're sorry!"
"As if! I had nothing to do with this."
"You're all to blame!"
Alix skated off in anger.
"Alix, wait!" Marinette called out. She went after Alix, with Hiro tagging along. Suddenly, Tikki popped out of Marinette's purse.
"Marinette, what about Ms. Chamack's cake?" she asked.
"There's still time!"
"Huh? So that's the presence I felt that one time?" Hiro asked. The two stopped momentarily.
"Well… Yes. This is Tikki, my kwami."
"Kami? You're awfully tiny to be called a god." Hiro remarked.
"Funny, I was gonna say the same thing. And it's kwami."
"Hey!" Hiro just sighed and calm down. "I'll deal with that comment later. We need to catch up to Alix."
Marinette nodded in agreement.
[At Hawk Moth's lair]
The window opened once more as Hawk Moth stood there.
"Such disappointment, frustration and negativity... Oh, how it fills my heart with exhilaration."
Hawk Moth then corrupted another butterfly.
"Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize her!"
The akuma set off to find it's victim.
[At the bakery]
The news anchor from the previous chapter was knocking on the bakery door, but no one was responding. Meanwhile, Shala approached the door.
"Is there something wrong?" Shala asked.
"Yes, I ordered a cake from here, and I'm here to pick it up. But, no one is responding." Ms. Chamack explained.
"Oh… Alright, I got you. Just give me a second!"
Shala jumped onto the balcony and went inside the bedroom. A few moments later, Shala opened the door, with the giant cake in tow.
"Here you go!" Shala said. Ms. Chamack graciously accepted the cake.
"Thank you so much, darling."
"It's no problem."
Ms. Chamack then departed.
"Well, that's taken care of. Betteer notify Mr. and Mrs. Cheng. Or, is it Dupain-Cheng? Whatever!"
Shala began to phone the Dupain-Chengs on her D-Pad.
[At the restaurant]
Tom got a call on his phone. He immediately picked up.
"Hello? Oh, she got the cake? Brilliant! But, why didn't Marinette deliver it? … I see. Thank you, Shala."
Tom then hung up.
"It's all good." Tom said. Sabine placed a hand on her heart.
[Back at Trocadero]
Hiro and Marinette managed to catch up to Alix.
"There has to be a way to fix this!" Hiro said.
"Like how, huh? Go back in time and alter the future?" Alix asked in a sarcastic manner. Hiro placed a hand to his chin. Marinette looked confused.
"Um..."
"Look, when you figure out a way to time travel, let me know."
Alix then skates away. Marinette turned to Hiro.
"What's wrong?"
"I was just thinking...maybe a dimensional rift could work in this situation." Hiro said.
"Dimensional what?"
"Dimensional rift. It's this mysterious breach inbetween the dimensions that started to pop up recently. It takes you to fight an enemy from the past and then it drops you off to a place you're needed most." Hiro explained.
"How...exactly do you know this?"
"Me and Shala entered one before. About a month ago, actually. We ended up fighting this...knight, monster thing, and then we were dropped off to a cave where our parents were held captive."
"Really?"
"Yeah. However, we don't know everything about this, yet. We don't even know if it will enable time travel. The whole dimensional rift thing is still wrapped in mystery..."
As the two were talking, the akuma fluttered over to Alix's skates and were promptly absorbed.
"Timebreaker. I am Hawk Moth. I'm granting you the power to retaliate against the people who've wronged you, and to go back in time to restore the future. But you must do me a favor in return, when the time is right." Hawk Moth said. Alix's transformation concluded as he spoke. Timebreaker wears a black helmet with red spiked edges on the back and two green eye shields over each eye. She also wears a nearly black suit with lime green patches around her waist, around her lower hips and upper legs, and below her knees. Below her back of her wrists, there are glowing lime green ovals, and on her chest, there is a glowing red hourglass shape within a larger silver outline. Her rollerblades are black with two glowing white wheels on each one and a thin green line about the foot's ball and instep. A power bar is on the sides of the blades keeps tracks of her energy level.
"You got it, Hawk Moth." Timebreaker replied.
"Can't you try searching for one?" Marinette suggested.
"I can try." Hiro replied. He jumped 5 feet away from Marinette and conducted a scan of the area.
"Well?"
"Well, there's something here..." Hiro said. When he turned, he saw Timebreaker accelerating towards Marinette. "Oh, for the love of- Get down!"
Making use of his Time Skip for the first time in forever (hehe, reference), Hiro swiftly pushed Marinette to the ground to dodge Timebreaker. This sudden movement caused Timebreaker to trip and fall face-first on the ground. Timebreaker quickly recovered. She made her way towards Hiro, only to get punched in the gut my a Time Skip-induced punch.
"Marinette! Go! Now!"
Marinette nodded and fled.
"Why you little prick-!"
Before she could get close, Timebreaker was kneed by Hiro and dropped to the ground.
"What are you doing, Timebreaker?! Just take his Miraculous!" Hawk Moth demanded. Timebreaker raced forward to grab Hiro's pendant, only to get struck by a multitude of punches via his Time Skip.
"...Yeah, I think I'll hold off on taking his Miraculous for right now..." Timebreaker said, stunned by Hiro's attacks.
"...Agreed."
Timebreaker got up and skated away. Along the way, she touched Kim, causing him to freeze.
"What did you do to him?!" Hiro demanded.
"I need his energy in order to go back in time. Besides, the dude was a pain anyway with all those bets. He deserves to disappear forever."
"As much as I can agree on him being a pain, I can't let you continue!"
"Oh yeah? Who's gonna stop me?"
Suddenly, Timebreaker was hit by a certain yo-yo.
"How about her?"
"Time out, Timebreaker!" Ladybug quipped.
"You're just in time, Ladybug!"
Suddenly, Timebreaker began to plead with Rose, who was nearby at the time.
"Please, help me up! I must stop, please, please!"
"Okay..." Rose replied.
"Noooo!"
It was too late. Timebreaker grasped Rose's hand and took away her energy.
"Hahaha! Sweet Rose! Always thinking of others before herself!"
Timebreaker took a look at her meter.
"Sweet! One minute."
Suddenly, Timebreaker was Sucker Punched in the face by Hiro, who was not very happy. Timebreaker got up quickly.
"Okay, time right the fuck out! How the hell do you keep doing that?!" Timebreaker demanded.
"What? You mean this?"
Hiro used his Time Skip to punch Timebreaker in the face again.
"That's simply my Time Skip, which allows me to slow down my own time and stuff. If you can steal time, then I'll slow my time to beat you."
To prove his point, Hiro punched Timebreaker's face again."
"Why do you keep hitting my face?!" she asked.
"I dunno, why do you let them hit you?" Hiro said back, making Ladybug laugh. Timebreaker eyed Alya and smirked. Alya took the hint and ran.
"Let's see if you keep laughing once I freeze Alya!"
Timebreaker skated towards the fleeing Alya.
"Oh, HELL no!"
Hiro swooped in and kicked Timebreaker away.
"Thanks, Hiro!"
Alya was suddenly hoisted over Hiro's shoulder.
"Alya, I don't freakin' understand why you are recording in a dangerous situation such as this one, but for now, I'm gonna take you somewhere to be safe." Hiro said in a harsh tone. Suddenly, Timebreaker stood in their way. She then took notice of the hoisted Alya.
"Wow, Hiro. Are you coping a feel of Alya's butt?" she asked.
"What!?'
"Well, it doesn't matter! 'Cause now, you got nowhere to run!"
Timebreaker was suddenly attacked by an icicle shower.
"Thanks, Pepper! I owe you one!" Hiro shouted, with Pepper nodding.
"That's it!"
Timebreaker rushed towards Hiro and Alya. All of a sudden, Hiro's pendant emitted a strange glow. He and Alya were absorbed into a dimensional rift before it closed.
"What?! Just how many tricks does this guy have?! Whatever, at least there will be less of you to deal with!"
Suddenly, she was tapped by a certain baton.
"Let me guess. We're all playing a game of tag and you're it?" Cat Noir asked.
"Exactly!"
"Where have you been, Cat?" Ladybug asked her partner.
"I was just watching Hiro completely destroy this chick." he replied. "I gotta admit, it was pretty embarrassing for an akuma to be bested so easily."
"Grrrr! You're gonna regret saying that!"
Timebreaker then charged at Cat Noir.
"Don't let her touch you!"
Cat Noir easily dodged Timebreaker's assault.
"Missed me! Just a second too late."
"We need to get her akuma! If we don't...those poor kids will be goners!"
"Well, let's not waste time, then!" Cat Noir said. As Timebreaker came back for the duo, Pepper stood in the way and summoned an ice wall.
"Not so fast!" she said. Growling in frustration, Timebreaker sets her sights on Ivan, who was on the ground. Before Timebreaker could touch him, Ladybug's yo-yo caught her arm.
"Hey! Hands to yourself!"
Timebreaker dragged Ladybug to her.
"Oh, crap! She's got her!" Pepper shouted. "Oh, I wish Hiro was here right now..."
[Meanwhile, inside the dimensional rift]
In a desert-like area, Alya and Hiro were spat out of the rift. They tumbled into a pile.
"Owww…."
As Hiro groaned in pain, he ended up groping something soft.
"What is this? This is so soft...and firm."
When Hiro opened his eyes, he saw he was groping Alya's butt.
"… Find me in the Alps..."
In response to the groping, Alya kicked Hiro square in the face. She turned and saw it was Hiro.
"Oh, my, gosh, I'm so sorry!"
"It's fine. I kinda deserve that..."
"No, no, it was a complete accident!"
"I didn't know what I was grabbing! It's my fault!"
"Well, your hands do feel nice there..."
"Um...thanks?"
"Anyway, where are we? Oh, and can you stay like that?"
"Uh, sure? We're within the dimensional rift right now."
"Dimensional rift?"
"Yeah! It's this mysterious distortion that started to appear recently. We don't know much about them."
'But, how do we leave?"
'That's just it, we can't."
"What?!"
"Lemme finish! We can't leave until we beat the entity that guards this rift."
"Who's the entity?"
"It seems to be a past enemy faced in the dimension it pops up in. So, here, I'll be facin' a past akuma."
"Great… Wait...did you hear that?"
"What?"
All was quiet for a few moments. Suddenly, Hiro began to hear a brassy kind of sound. He immediately realized what it was. Both of them began laughing.
"Aw, that's sick, Alya!"
"But, you like anyway. Oh, wait, wait!"
Alya moved her butt closer to Hiro's face and released another brassy fart, making the two laugh even harder.
"Alya! You're so stinky!"
"But, you like this stinky butt, right? And you would like it even more if Pepper was doing it, right?"
Alya began shaking her impressive butt in Hiro's face, letting a couple more farts rip on Hiro. As the two were screwing around, a stone golem slowly approached them. The two took notice.
"What the hell is that?"
"That's Stoneheart! He was the first akuma!"
The duo quickly stood up.
"He was not who I was expecting..."
Hiro launched a plasma ball at Stoneheart. While it did do mild damage, Stoneheart began to grow in size.
"What the heck?!"
"That's his power! Everytime he gets hit, he grows. Not only that, he gets stronger as well!"
That last part intrigued Hiro.
"Is that so?"
[Dragon Ball Super – Super Saiyan God]
Hiro powered up to Dragon Ascendant and landed a powerful blow on Stoneheart, causing him to grow even further. Hiro began repeatedly attacking Stoneheart, making him grow even more.
"Hiro! I just told you he grows everytime he's attacked! Don't you realize that?"
"Of course I do! That's what I was going for!"
Hiro then unleashed a flurry of punches on Stoneheart. At this point, Stoneheart was the size of a tower.
"Then why are you still hitting him?!"
"Because the bigger they are..."
Hiro began charging a Super Dragon Explosion.
"...the harder they fall!"
Hiro unleashed his devastating attack, knocking Stoneheart flat on his back. The force of the impact made Stoneheart drop a purple ball.
"I think that's his akuma!" Alya pointed out.
"Got it!"
Hiro dived down and stomped on the ball, releasing the akuma.
[End theme]
"Your days are numbered, akuma! Time to cleanse evil!"
Hiro launched his rope of light to capture the akuma's negative energy. The purified akuma flew away. Stoneheart vanished as soon as the akuma was purified. With Stoneheart defeated, the rift opened itself and dragged the duo in.
[At Trocadero]
The duo were spat on a building behind the race track. The two tumbled into a pile.
"Ugh… Wait, what am I holding?" Alya wondered. Hiro noticed the familiar predicament.
"Ha ha… Time for a little payback." Hiro snickered. He began to smile very widely. Alya was then assaulted by a powerful stink.
"Oh, Hiro!"
Alya landed a powerful smack on Hiro's butt, who just laughed in response.
"Ain't so fun when you're on the receiving end, huh?"
"You tell me."
Alya forcibly gripped Hiro's butt, making him release another silent fart. The duo's laughter increased. Hiro suddenly realized something important.
"Wait a minute… Why is it quiet here?"
The duo looked up and saw their past selves getting ready for the race.
"Doubles of us… No akuma in sight… The race hasn't started yet..."
Hiro looked like he pieced everything together.
"Alya! What time did the race start?"
"Uh, 11 o'clock?"
"And what time does it say on that clock over there?"
Alya turned and saw the time.
"10: 55?"
"… We traveled to the fucking past."
"Seriously?! How?!"
"Like I said before, we don't know everything about these anomalies. It could potentially do anything. And, it looks like time travel is a part of it's repertoire."
"Well, what should we do?"
"All we can do is wait and make our move..."
"… But, we have time."
"Hm…well, since I don't want a situation like the one you put yourself into, I'm gonna have to make sure you're able to fight."
"...How?"
Hiro placed a card on his D – Pad's blade and summoned a sword. He tossed it over to Alya. He summoned his Rainbow Blade.
"I...get...a...sword?!"
"You know it!"
"Aw, sweet! This is like anime come true!"
"Alright, let's see what you've got!"
[Meanwhile, in the not-so distant future.]
As that little event went on, Timebreaker was about to take Ladybug's energy. However, Cat Noir jumped in the way and protected Ladybug, at the cost of his energy.
"Cat Noir! Noooo!"
"Damn it! I can't believe he sacrificed himself!" Pepper said in shock. Timebreaker's meter shot up through the roof.
"Damn, six minutes in one go! It must have been those nine lives. This is my cue to leave now. The past is calling me."
Hawk Moth began speaking to Timebreaker telepathically.
"Timebreaker! The Miraculous! Take Cat Noir's ring before he disappears!"
"You're not going to land a paw on him!" Ladybug announced in anger. Timebreaker tried to reach Cat Noir, but Ladybug obstructed her path, making Hawk Moth very agitated.
"Chill out, Hawk Moth! I have a sick plan!"
Timebreaker proceeds to skate away. Ladybug latches on with her yo-yo. Unfortunately, she was getting dragged in the process. Pepper tried to help her out, but she was dragged as well. Timebreaker continued to go until the three vanished from existence.
[In the past]
Sword training was going relatively well for Alya and Hiro. The two exchanged blow to blow. Suddenly, Hiro swung his sword horizontally from left to right. He followed it up with an uppercut and downward slash. He jumped slightly and began to spin his sword around for about 5 hits. When he landed on the ground, however, Hiro slipped and fell on his back.
"Hiro, are you alright?!"
"Yeah… I haven't mastered that attack yet..."
"What's it called?"
"Starbreak Impact. Why?"
"Just wondering."
The two turned and saw Timebreaker, Ladybug, and Pepper emerged from the future. Pepper and Ladybug saw their past counterparts.
"Whoa, what... just happened? Oh wow, we've gone back in time, haven't we?" Ladybug wondered.
"Sure as hell looks that way."
The two saw past Chloe grab the watch, with past Marinette telling her off.
"My watch!" Future Timebreaker exclaimed.
"Chloe! Put the watch down!" Future Ladybug explained.
"Oi, me of the past! Grab the watch, now! Before it's too late!" Future Hiro cried out. His pas self heard the order too well. In an instant, he sped forward to the crowd and grabbed the watch, while knocking Chloe back as a result.
"Hey, me of the future, it's safe!" Past Hiro called out, holding the watch in his hand. Future Hiro blew out a sigh of relief. Timebreaker then walked towards Past Hiro.
"You...You saved my watch."
"Well, yeah! What are friends for, right?"
"Awesome! Can I have it?"
"Sure!"
As Past Hiro handed the watch to Timebreaker, he was suddenly hit on the head, causing him to drop and break the watch. The culprit was none other than the Queen Bee herself.
"Chloe, what the actual hell?!"
"Excuse you, YOU just hit little ol' me!" Chloe complained.
"You were collateral damage!"
Timebreaker was not happy one bit.
"Chloe, this time it's your fault!"
"What are you talking about? I have done nothing! It's Hero's fault for being as clumsy as Mari-trash over here."
"You're the one that hit me and made me drop the watch! And the name's Hiro, got it?!"
"Unlike you, Hiro ACTUALLY tried to help me! But, then you go and ruin everything as usual! I need to get more energy to go back in time again..."
Past Alix, who witnessed this event, slowly skated over to the broken watch.
"Chloe… It's all Chloe's fault!"
[Meanwhile]
Past Hawk Moth observed this turn of events from afar.
"Could this be possible? Do I see double vision in my future? Or should I say double villain?"
Past Hawk Moth then corrupted an akuma.
"Fly away, my devilish akuma, then join this troubled soul!"
[At Trocadero]
"Everyone, get out of here! Don't let her touch you!" Ladybug warned.
As everyone ran, Future Timebreaker held her hand out to the newly akumatized Timebreaker.
"Ugh, this is all kinds of bad right now..." Future Hiro groaned.
"Wait, how did you two get here?" Future Pepper asked.
"We got spat out of that dimensional rift after I bet Stoneheart."
"Stoneheart? But, how?"
"Dimensional rifts make ya fight past opponents before you can leave. That's the only reason that happened."
Suddenly, all of their past counterparts came up. Everyone except Hiro was shocked to say the least.
"Hey, are you really from the future?" Past Hiro asked.
"Yeah…?"
"Oh, this can't be good. Who screwed everything up?"
"Take a wild guess."
Past Hiro groaned at that.
"Of course she did..."
The two Peppers stood face-to-face.
"Hey, nice shirt!" Future Pepper complimented.
"Right back at ya!"
Past Alya and Future Alya began to talk.
"What's up, sexy?" Past Alya asked.
"Nothin' much."
Marinette and Ladybug then met face-to-face.
"Um, what's going on?" Marinette asked.
"It's a long story..." Ladybug responded. The two Alya's turned to the duo.
"Well, girl? You got some explaining to do. Why do you two look so similar?" the Alyas asked, making Marinette and Ladybug freeze.
"Um..."
The Alyas just laughed.
"Relax, I already know you're Ladybug."
"What?!" Marinette screeched. "How?!"
She turned her gaze to Hiro.
"It was an accident!"
Ladybug and Marinette just sighed.
"Whatever. We'll deal with this later. Right now, we gotta stop the Timebreakers."
"Agreed." Future Hiro said. The two of them flew after the Timebreakers. Ladybug from the future jumped from the building and met up with Cat Noir, who just made his appearance.
"Cat Noir, I can't explain now, but we got to capture Timebreaker's akuma! Your life depends on it!" Ladybug explained.
"Which life? I've got nine." Cat Noir joked.
"I'm serious! The akuma is in her rollerblades. We gotta release it!"
Cat Noir then noticed the two Timebreakers.
"Am I seeing double all of a sudden?"
"Another thing I don't have time to explain."
The Timebreakers dashed towards the superheroes.
"The energy from these two will be enough for both of us to go farther back in time!"
"Heh, I want my watch back! Let's do it!"
Suddenly, the Timebreakers were kicked back by the two Hiro's.
"Your time's up, Timebreakers!" the Hiro's said.
"Grrr! You know, I was thinking of saving you for last, but I just changed my mind!"
The Timebreakers made their way towards the two Hiros. Suddenly, a yo-yo knocked both of them down. Past Ladybug then made her appearance known.
"Hey! Need any help!" Past Ladybug asked.
"Your timing is perfect!" Future Ladybug called out. Instead of being confused, Cat Noir (whoever that is, amirite?) was smiling with glee.
"Two Ladybugs? I'm in heaven!"
The Ladybugs gave him a look.
"… I change my mind again. We need to go back in time now!" Future Timebreaker stated.
"I agree!" Past Timebreaker agreed.
"Don't fail me this time!"
The Timebreakers rushed towards the heroes. Luckily, the two Hiro's had a plan.
"Pepper, now!" the two said in unison. The Peppers used their power to freeze the ground underneath the Timebreakers, causing them to lose their balance.
"Go for it, Hiro!" the two Peppers said in unison. The Hiros launched the Timebreakers in the air with an uppercut.
"Get the rollerblades, Ladybug!"
The Ladybugs used their yo-yo to rip the skates off of the Timebreakers. The Ladybugs broke the rollerblades, releasing the akumas.
"No more evil-doing for you, little akuma! Time to de-evilise!"
The two Ladybugs captured the akumas. They released the now purified akuas.
"Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!"
The Ladybugs tossed their yo-yos in the air and purified everything the akumas caused. All of the doubles fused into one. Ladybug approached Alix with the restored watch.
"Here, I think this is yours?"
Alix happily accepted the watch.
"Sweet! How did you fix it? Thank you! I should never have given it to someone else to look after. It was my responsibility. My bad."
"Responsibility isn't something to take lightly. I should know."
"You're totally right. I'll be more careful next time for sure. Thanks, Marinette."
Upon hearing that name, Ladybug froze.
"I knew it! Kim! You owe me 20€!" Alix called out. Ladybug just stood agape.
"What…?"
She then turned to Hiro.
"Hiro..."
"Okay, I did NOT tell her! She must have had a bet with Kim and had her suspicions."
"Alright, then. Hiro, you might as well tell me who else knows about me."
"Oh, would you look at the time! I have to go!"
"Oh? Why's that?"
"Well, as some people can attest, there is no way they can avoid danger. So, I have to do something about it. See ya!"
Hiro flew off. Cat Noir then approached Ladybug.
"Aw...I was just getting used to having two Ladybugs around."
"Well, now you're gonna get used to having no Ladybugs. I gotta bug outta here."
Ladybug swung away with the aid of her yo-yo.
"Ahhh… She'll fall for me someday
[With Hawk Moth]
Hawk Moth was absolutely livid about Timebreaker's failure.
"You slipped by me this time, Ladybug, Cat Noir, and you wizards. But one day, past, present or future, you will be destroyed! And I'll have your Miraculouses! I will be UNSTOPPABLE! Mwahahaha!"
The window to his lair shuts after his dramatic revenge speech.
[At the bakery]
While Marinette was reading, Tom and Sabine returned from their anniversary dinner.
"Hey, you're back! So, did you have a nice anniversary?" she asked her parents.
"We sure did. Although, I was a bit worried."
"Huh? Oh, yeah! Hehehe. Ms. Chamack."
"It's alright. Luckily, Shala took care of everything." Tom explained.
"She...did?"
Shala made her appearance known on the steps.
"Yep! You weren't around, so I had to give that giant cake to her!"
"Next time, please wait for the customer in the bakery and not in your room, listening to your loud music!" Sabine said to Marinette.
"Got it. I promise I won't screw up next time."
"Good, cause Mom's right. There's only one Marinette, and we're counting on her."
Everyone shared a giant hug.
[Epilouge: Busted Identities]
Hiro and Shala walked up to the Agreste Manor. Hiro rung on the doorbell and a metallic eye popped out.
"Yes?" the voice asked.
"We're here to see Adrien." Hiro responded.
"Very well."
The gates to the manor opened up. The duo stepped inside the manor. Suddenly, Mr. Agreste confronted the two.
"Who are you two and why are you in my home?" he asked with venom in his voice.
"We're friends with Adrien? We're bringing his homework to him!" Shala explained. Mr. Agreste then noticed Hiro's pendant and Shala's bracelet.
"Very well. The girl can go, but I want to speak with you personally." Mr. Agreste said. The two nodded and Shala went up the stairs. Shala knocked on the door.
"Adrien, you there?" she asked. Adrien then opened the door.
"Oh, hey, Shala! Come on in!" Adrien said. Shala did just that, and she was amazed at the size of his room.
"Holy crap! This is your room?! It's so huge!"
"Aw, come on… It's not that much."
"Are you kidding?! You have a freakin' mini arcade up in here!"
"Okay, I get it."
"Anyway… I got your homework."
Shala handed the papers over to Adrien.
"Awesome! Thanks, Shala."
"No problem...Cat Noir."
Adrien's eyes went wide. Suddenly, Plagg shot out from Adrien's shirt.
"Welp, looks like that cat's out of the bag, huh?"
"Shut up, Plagg..."
Shala was smitten at the black cat kwami.
"Aw, who's this cute little kwami?"
"The name's Plagg! Glad you acknowledged my greatness, unlike some people."
Adrien decided to ignore that comment altogether.
"Wait, you know about the kwami? How?" Adrien asked.
"Oh, no reason."
"So, Ladybug was right when she said you three knew who we are…"
"Yep!"
"Well, to be fair, kid, your costumes were pretty obvious. Heck, even a little kid could have figured it out. The only reason no one else figured you two out is because everyone in this city are really stupid."
"Plagg!" Adrien shouted.
"Y'know, the funny thing is...he's not wrong."
Shala and Plagg shared a high-five. Adrien just groaned.
"So, you give Adrien the power of destruction, huh? Doesn't that make you a God of Destruction?"
"Basically. Why?"
"I expected you to be bigger..." Shala said in disappointment.
"Hey!"
Shala just giggled.
"… I like you, kid. You're just my type of gal."
Plagg pulled out some Camembert, causing Adrien and Shala to cover their noses.
"Want some?"
"What is it?" Shala nasally asked.
"Only the most delicious thing in the world! It's my precious Camembert! Try some!"
Plagg handed the stinky cheese over to Shala.
"Alright..."
Shala plopped the piece in her mouth.
"Wow…even though it stinks, it's soooo good! Thanks, Plagg!"
"No prob, kid."
Adrien was clearly jealous that Plagg was treating Shala better than him.
"Hang on. Where's Hiro?" Adrien asked.
"Oh, your dad wanted to talk with him."
"He what?!" Adrien called out.
[With Mr. Agreste and Hiro]
"Mr. Agreste, what did you want to talk about?"
"First of all, call me Gabriel. Secondly, I was wondering if Adrien is safe with you?"
"But of course! Trust me when I say this, sir, we protect everyone at our school. No matter what."
"I see..."
Gabriel curiously eyed Hiro's pendant.
"Well, if that's all, I'll just-"
"I've never noticed your pendant before." Gabriel said, cutting Hiro off. "May I?"
Gabriel goes in to take Hiro's pendant, only to stop when it emits a blue glow.
"What the heck?"
The pendant shot a beam at Gabriel. Likewise, Gabriel's brooch shot a beam at the other. The two beams clashed, creating a blinding light. Images began rushing through their brains. In Hiro's case, he sees Gabriel conversing with a kwami. It was a small, lavender, butterfly-like creature the same height as the other kwami. It has butterfly wings that have a long tail with a tip at the end of each lower wing and darker purple eyes. There is a purple spiral mark on it's forehead.
"I must have them, Nooroo! I must have those Miraculous!"
"But, no one knows where they are!"
"And when it comes to luring superheroes, what can be better than to create supervillians?"
"But master, the Miraculouses are not meant to be used for evil purposes!"
"I must have this absolute power! Your Miraculousis in my control! I am your master now! And you must obey me!"
"Yes, master…"
"Nooroo, dark wings, rise!"
Gabriel then transforms into Hawk Moth.
"From this day on, I will be known as...Hawk Moth!"
"No way… these are all Hawk Moth's memories! Why...why am I seeing them now?! Wait...does this mean…Gabriel is Hawk Moth?!"
Hiro was then pushed back. Gabriel then sees Hiro's memories.
"It's an extremely rare magic item. It is said that whoever swallows one can gain rare magic without training. Including those with no magic energy."
"Be careful."
"Well, here goes nothing."
After swallowing the Light Spheres, Hiro and Pepper cried out in pain. Miasmas of a dragon and hummingbird appeared behind him. Another memory began to play.
"Ooh! Can I have it?"
"Uh..."
"Thanks!"
"Shala, no!"
Shala devoured the Light Sphere. The miasma of a dragon appeared behind her.
"I see, now. Those three are carrying souls within their bodies. And from the looks of it, Hiro and Shala have fragments of Faust's soul! I must find a way to make that power my own!"
Gabriel too, was pushed back. Hiro's back hit the door, and Gabriel was knocked into a wall. Adrien and Shala rushed down when they heard the noise.
"What happened?!" the two asked.
The two men stood up.
"We're fine." the two men replied.
"Father..."
"Adrien, I assure you, I am not hurt. Just return to your room."
Adrien solemnly nodded and went back upstairs.
"Don't worry, I'm good."
"If you say so. I'll meet ya outside." Shala said. She stepped out of the manor, leaving Gabriel and Hiro to eye each other.
"It was a pleasure to meet you, Bearer of Faust's soul." Gabriel sneered. Hiro's eyes went wide, before they shrunk.
"That's what I should be saying, Hawk Moth!" Hiro shouted, making Gabriel go wide. The two snarled at each other and they went their separate ways.
[Dragon Ball Kai – Wings of the Heart]
Um...hi? Marinette here. A prince is coming over to Paris and Rose is really excited. She had a letter and everything, unfortunately, Chloe ruins everything, as usual. And the worst part is… Tikki is sick…
